Announcing

The HP StorageWorks Secure Key Manager reduces your risk of a costly data breach and reputation damage while improving regulatory compliance with a secure centralized encryption key management solution for HP LTO4 enterprise tape libraries. The Secure Key Manager automates key generation and management based on security policies for multiple libraries. This occurs transparent to ISV backup applications. The Secure Key Manager is a hardened server appliance delivering secure identity-based access, administration and logging with strong auditable security designed to meet the rigorous FIPS 140-2 security standards.  Additionally, the Secure Key Manager provides reliable lifetime key archival with automatic multi-site key replication, high availability clustering and failover capabilities.

Key Features:

• Reduce risk of a data breach - Mitigate your risk of data exposure. Keep your tape encrypted data private and protect your company reputation with HP Secure Key Manager while improving regulatory compliance and avoiding financial consequences of a breach. Avoid situations requiring disclosure of unauthorized access to unencrypted private information.
• Centralized with automatic policy-based key generation - HP Secure Key Manager reduces the complexity of managing encryption keys across a distributed infrastructure with a single point of management. Independent of tape drive count, multiple ESL/EML LTO4 tape libraries are supported per node further boosting investment protection. Only network connectivity is required.
• Transparent to ISV applications - Minimize impact to existing backup and recovery processes. The key management and data encryption occurs transparent to the backup application. The data can be decrypted on an HP Secure Key Manager library client that has permission to access the key. Check the EBS matrix for ISV support of the LTO-4 drive.

Integrating seamlessly into existing backup applications and processes, the HP StorageWorks 9000 Virtual Library System accelerates backup performance (up to 4800 MB/s) in complex SAN environments while improving overall reliability. Emulating popular tape libraries, the HP 9000 Virtual Library System matches the existing data protection environment, removing the need to change backup software or monitoring policies. By emulating multiple tape drives simultaneously, more backup jobs can be done in parallel resulting in reduced backup times and because the data resides on disk, single file restores are exceptionally fast. The VLS9000 includes 4Gb Fibre Channel infrastructure, hardware compression and can take advantage of advanced features like automigration and data de-duplication.

• Emulates popular tape drives and libraries - By emulating HP StorageWorks ESL E-Series and HP StorageWorks MSL tape libraries as well as HP 1/8 autoloaders, the HP StorageWorks 9000 Virtual Library system integrates seamlessly into existing backup and recovery processes and applications.
• Certified with leading backup software packages - The HP StorageWorks 9000 Virtual Library System is certified under the HP StorageWorks Enterprise Backup Solution with leading backup applications to ensure that integration into your environment is simple.
• Configure to order - Have your HP 9000 Virtual Library System factory integrated into a HP rack with your other storage and server devices and take advantage.
